I am interested in uploading image files in the JPEG2000 file format. Is there currently support for this format with Omeka?
I see that "Currently, you may upload all types of files into your Omeka installation, but only images automatically display on /items/show pages." I received an error when I tried to upload a small (148KB) test image (with the .jp2 extension).
ewb:
Thank you for your interest in Omeka. Unfortunately browser support for JPEG2000 is limited. In the future we intend to include a media viewer into Omeka that may be able to handle rendering of .jp2 files.
You mention that you are receiving an error when uploading a test image. Is this an upload error (i.e. the file fails to upload) or does the upload work, but the image breaks when displayed?

I followed this up and you currently cannot upload JPEG2000 images - I think this is in part because the getID3() library (http://www.getid3.org/) we use to parse uploaded media doesn't support it.
Jim's right that in the future we intend on having a media viewer, although for the meantime we may be able to hack a solution that essentially bypasses the getID3() library for JPEG2000 images, only retrieving limited metadata from those image files, and still creating derivative images with ImageMagick which thankfully does supports JPEG2000
